Weekly Challenge – Spending Money

The Challenge:

Getting back on schedule after our short break, hopefully you all backed up those computers. This week, let’s use our imagination to dream up everything we would do if we were suddenly handed $300,000. The only stipulation is that you have to spend every penny of it. Write out as many things as you can think of and then imagine yourself doing them.

This task is worth 30-points on your scorecards.

Thought Provoking Questions:

Did you have an abundance of things on your list?  Or did it get difficult to spend every penny?

How did you feel when you visualized yourself doing the things on your list?

The Lesson:

You may be asking yourself, why did I need to spend every penny?  Simply, by creating a list of everything you want without worrying about how to pay for it, you are formalizing your list of wants within your mind.  The more often you think about these items and visualize yourself achieving them, the more effortlessly your mind will bring you closer to fulfilling your desires.

If you want to take this challenge even further, print up a bunch of “play” checks and actually write the checks to the actions you hope to achieve.  The more fun you have with this, the happier you will be, so replay this challenge whenever you are feeling down.  Lastly, for those analytical folks like me, pretend you will receive and must spend this money every day for the rest of your life so you don’t need to over-think as if this was the only $300,000 you will ever get.
